Results Show Consistent 22% Average Reduction of CO2 Emissions & Equally Impressive Mileage Improvement
an H2GO retrofit - good for all the diesel guzzlers already on the road - till more hybrid electrics come along.
AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire) - Ronn Motor Company (maker of a 40 mpg supercar) announced today that the results for the over-the-road field trials have been finalized for the big-rig, diesel powered Volvo fleet trucks.

With more than 100,000 miles of on-road field trials completed, operating under various vehicle load factors and diverse driving conditions, H2GO has once again proven its durability and functionality on late model, big-rig Volvo fleet trucks. The H2GO systems have been functioning as anticipated, delivering anywhere from 18% to 40% reduction in CO2 gases, as well as an equally impressive mileage improvement. Throughout the duration of this field trial, H2GO has been consistent, providing an overall 22% average improvement.

Volvo, the second largest producer of heavy trucks and transport solutions, is a popular choice among large fleet owners in more than 140 countries. Fleet owners with Volvo trucks can now realize a speedy ROI with an H2GO retrofit that will significantly reduce fuel costs and engine maintenance costs. As well, H2GO is a sustainable, eco-friendly, aftermarket technology that will allow these fleet owners to meet and exceed impending government emission regulations without costly upgrades to their existing trucks.

Damon Kuhn, Ronn Motor Company COO, stated, "H2GO has proven itself again, demonstrating impressive results on large, late model Volvo trucks that are right in line with our expectations, based on months and months of extensive research, development and dyno testing. We expect a number of fleet owners will soon begin retrofitting their trucks with H2GO systems now that limited production has been announced by Frigette."

Headquartered in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, Ronn Motor Company, Inc. is a design and manufacturing company focused on the leading edge engineering of environmentally friendly, finely built premium automobiles and "green," eco-responsible technology. These technology systems include Hydrogen Fuel, Fuel Cells, and Plug-in Electrics and will be incorporated into our automobiles to be made available for aftermarket applications. Our products, coupled with RMC's core values of a strong sense of ethics, environmental sensitivity and premium quality, position the company as one of the new leaders in an automotive industry transitioning toward fuel efficiency.

Confirms Impressive 32% CO2 Reduction & Fuel Economy Improvement and a 41% Drop in NOx

AUSTIN, TX--(Marketwire) - Ronn Motor Company (exotic, 40mpg, sports car, Scorpin) announced today that it has received one of the first orders for its H2GO systems from RJ Pipkin Company, Ltd., a large truck fleet owner/operator based in West Texas.

With Frigette beginning limited H2GO production, and with thousands of miles of over-road testing and field trials completed, analyzed, confirmed and verified on Pipkin's big-rig trucks, specifically on 2008 Cummins turbo diesel powered Peterbuilts, RJ Pipkin Company, Ltd. has committed (signed purchase order) to begin the retrofit to H2GO systems on their big-rig fleet trucks.

Pertinent data for the extensive over-road field trial was collected and recorded under various operational conditions. On average, the results revealed a significant 32% CO2 reduction, an equally impressive improvement in fuel savings as well as a 41% reduction in NOx.

Randy Pipkin, President of RJ Pipkin Company, Ltd., stated, "We are truly looking forward to this system. Based on the decisive results we have achieved in our field trial, we know that H2GO will pay for itself within a few months and will have a significant impact on our bottom line. It will provide a number of benefits by reducing our fuel and engine maintenance costs, giving us a major competitive advantage in our market. It also provides us with a sustainable, environmentally friendly technology that will reduce our carbon footprint and allow us to easily meet and exceed upcoming government emission regulations with our existing fleet."

Ronn Motors CEO, Ronn Maxwell, commented, "Large big-rig trucks are the backbone of the shipping and commercial industries in the United States. These large fleet trucks average a mere 6 miles per gallon nationally. With replicable mileage improvement results, such as those achieved by RJ Pipkin, H2GO can improve fuel efficiency for all big-rig fleet owners/operators, as well as provide a positive impact on the environment through significant reductions in noxious emissions."
